Welcome to the world of RX7s. Your going to be here for quite some time

I can tell you how to amass a small fortune with an RX7... !

Just start with a large one.

 

looks pretty sweet, welcome to the forum!

 

Well put

Nice car too...

 

A dream? HAH?! A curse!

Welcome to the money pit we call RX-7's!

 

now now, dont shatter his hopes of having money just yet....

hell figure that out on his own

 

You lucky bastard. I want an rx7 for christmas! I'm gonna have to go buy one on my own, and I don't exactly bring home the bacon with the job i have

 

where did you get that cause it looks just like this vert up here by me and the guy said he was thinking of selling it just wondering if its the same one

nice car i just got my 88 vert a week ago

 

youll hate it soo much sometimes. and then youll drive it and youll forget about everything you hate about it.

sometimes i think about the problems mine has (which isnt a lot just no working sunroof and rear wiper) then i go in my garage and look at it and all i have to say to my 7 is "you had me at hello"

 

"you had me at hello"


thats good

 

Yup...they are money pits for sure. But damn if you own one you will have a hard time finding something to replace it.

Welcome to the club!

 

7's don't stop at all your money, they want all your free time as well.

Welcome, nice car!

 

You must have given Santa a hummer to get a nice gift like that
Beautiful car.

 

Cool wheels.

 

I am in Central Illinois, I guess not too far from Davenport so, could be the same car.

I bought it as a tag on to the car I bought from my wife. Car Loan at Blue Book on her car covered the purchase cost on both. Really though, can't believe how nicely it does run. 100600 original miles, so only averages about 5500 miles per year on it.
Yes I am sure that it's gonna cost me if I decide to kick up performance, but right now, it's a sweet runner.

Thanks for the welcomes!!

Sweet ride, we share the same car as you can see in my sig. i love verts, they are amazing cars, and you can ride in style, did you get the leather cover for the vert top when its down? welcome the the wonderful world of FC3C's

Insert wallet here

 

Yup, got the leather boot too. Haven't really had a chance to try it top down yet though. Maybe if the weather really hits the low 40s this weekend like it's forcast to, but you know forcasting, or weather guessing. The best laid plans can be destroyed by a bad forcast.

Thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to cruising topless!~

Low 40's eh? I would freeze in that thing, anything below 70 is freezing for us Tejanos.

Welcome to the forums, sweet lookin' vert.

Don't mess around with the convertible top unless it's over 50 degrees outside (Mazda's own recommendation).

Welcome to the club, S5 verts are hard to beat-way ahead of their time as far as convertibles go...

 

Yup, 70 sounds much better top down weather. However, I am just anxious to try it out. The manual says don't use it under 41 degrees. So, I may just try it, but more likely I am going to wait until the it's shirt sleeve weather again.

Thanks for the greetings.

Doug

 

Good looking ride .
